    So to be truthful I’ve been out of the hobby for around 4 years now and need help… a family member dumped him on me because they knew I used to keep lots of fish and thought I could help but I’m in a bit of a rut. I’ve had him a total of 3 days now maybe and have been struggling to get him to...

    This is a betta rescue I did las Thursday. Someone posted two bettas for adoption who belonged to two small children. One of them is doing great! I’ve been trying since then to get this one feeling better, but I don’t feel that I’ve made progress. They didn’t have a heater when I first picked...

    Hi everyone! My betta, Finn, recently passed away and yesterday I adopted a new, healthy koi plakat! His name is Gilbert ("Gill" to go along with the anatomical theme ;)) and he's a little gem with an awesome personality! I was also very bad yesterday . . . I could not walk away from a male...

    This evening I went to a Petsmart to get a Betta fish. The one I had for about 2.5 years recently passed away, and I was ready to get a new one. I found a beautiful Twin Tail Halfmoon betta. But while I was looking at all the fish in the cups, my sister saw one that honestly I thought was dead...

    I'm somewhat of a new Betta owner. I owned one when I was younger, but I don't know anything more than the basics. I got some aquarium accessories at a yard sale the other day, which inspired me to try getting a fish again. Yesterday I was at Wal-mart and checked out their betta section, and...

    What's up fishtank people, I bought/rescued a new betta yesterday. We named him Lucky Kamikaze because we found him sitting in the betta tank system's large filtration system at the LFS. We thought he was dead, his poor little body was stuck in the cotton wad-like stuff, but when I poked the...

    I have a rescue betta that I am rehabilitating, and when he is healthy, he will need a new home. He will be ready to go within a month depending on how quickly he heals. He was close to death when I got him a few days ago, but has gotten much better in a short time. I only got him because I felt...

    I just rescued a very sick betta from the pet store. I was just there to get some water conditioner, but I saw him and felt bad. I don't know what kind of betta he is because his fins are in such bad shape and his cup was not labeled. He is very weak, but can still swim. He's very thin and not...

    Hey guys! I'll start with the story of how I got this guy today. I stopped by the pet store after work today, and this man was trying to return this betta. He was screaming at the store manager about how he got this fish for his son a few months ago, and it was never healthy, they thought it...

    I'm Tori, I work am head of the pet care department at a LPS. Rest assured that the bettas at my store get 100% daily water changes and we use SeaChem Prime with every change. The only things outside of my control are: 1. I cannot choose our supplier. Sometimes it changes unexpectedly. If the...

    Recently, a few weeks ago I posted a post in "Betta Marketplace" asking to rehome a betta fish, and I got private messages from several of you recommending I started my own little betta rescue! So I decided to do so! I have spent several hundreds of dollars on supplies for Bettas such as tanks...

    So... I will start that I am a complete newbie at keeping fish. I plan to get a betta for my 10gal planted tank I set up several weeks ago, but I'm holding off until after the holidays to get one. Then I was at the store today and saw a lone cory catfish in a tank. And he was adorable. From the...

    Yesterday, I lost my newest EE betta Legolas due to a faulty decoration leeching into the water. Well, out of death comes life. I have been watching this guy for the past three months (that's right, months) and he has amazingly survived despite being in the cup and being a King. He was extremely...

    Hi all! About three weeks ago- I rescued a beautiful but very, very sick betta from the relative of a friend. The betta had such severe finrot and ammonia poisoning I did not expect him to live, but with lots of care and medication he has improved and seems to be thriving! I am thrilled! His...

    Hello all. About three weeks ago I rescued a severely neglected and very sick betta- who I thought was terminally ill. To my delight- I was wrong and my little guy seems to be getting better every day in a 2.5 gallon, heated, filtered tank- with frequent water changes and daily methylene blue...

    Hi everyone! I have a very sick rescue betta that I got from a friend- was severely neglected, lived in an 1/2 gallon container that was never cleaned. He has severe fin rot and ammonia poisoning too- many betta owners have recommended methylene blue as a treatment option- but I didn't want to...

    Hello all. I have not kept betta fish for the past year due to an increasingly demanding schedule- but after seeing the conditions this fish was kept in- I had to take it home. The fish belonged to a friends brother- and even though she knew she could get in trouble with her parents for taking...
